Why this kit matters
The Lotus 79 is one of the most celebrated Formula 1 cars of the late 1970s, known for its ground‑breaking ground effect aerodynamics and competitive performance. While the original Lotus team had major success with the Type 79, the Team Rebaque entry represents a unique chapter in F1 history where privateer racer Héctor Rebaque campaigned the car in the 1979 World Championship.
This model captures both the engineering excellence of the Lotus design and the rare Team Rebaque livery that makes this kit stand out from other Type 79 releases. Building and displaying this kit celebrates both technical achievement and a distinctive historic entry in the world of Formula 1.
How to use it
Carefully trim and fit parts using modelling tools, hobby knife and sanding sticks. Use plastic cement for assembly and acrylic or enamel paints to finish bodywork and detail. Place decals as indicated to complete the Team Rebaque No. 31 presentation. Once built, show your model on a shelf or integrate it into a motorsport diorama.
This is a plastic model kit. Assembly, paint, and glue are required. It is not a toy.
